Deveric Blog

Period: May 2023 - Present

The life of a code-blooded 🧬 developer : In an efforts to consolidate my understanding of the Django Framework, a deviation from JAMStack experience, I dedicated my time to work on a full blown full stack blog site with an admin panel to update my blogs as needed, hosted on Azure, the latter being a consolidation of my fundamentals in cloud computing. My strengths lie in AWS, GCP IaaS that I have used more oftenly in the past, I figured, I'd give Azure a try, and it was well worth it, deployment was rather trivial. Hurdles encountered and resolved were migrating from sqlite to a dedicated Postgres DB and media storage configurations but, all in all not too bad. See more in my Github repo for the corresponding code @ericgitangu/blog. Tech Stack: 1. Django 2. Whitenoise (File Storage) 3. Postgres (Flexible Azure) 4. Azure - App Server Features 1. Admim dashboard to update posts 2. Paginations of posts 3. Comments on posts 4. Session persisence (Read Later) 5. UI to update model data on the admin dashboard Nice to have - TBD 1. Web Scraping to grab relevant information to populate my blog 2. Authentication for users to login and add posts to the blog site Cheers 🥂, Deveric
